What is there to say? This is perhaps one of the most iconic cookbooks of all time. ( )

Great follow up and compaion to volume 1. This volume is important for me becuase it has the chapters on baking bread as well as more advanced recipes on topics covered in volume one. The edition I have also has an index that covers both volumes one and two so you can look things up from both volumes in one place. ( )

I wanted this book for a long time. What a nice Christmas present from DH!. This is a winner and as good as I had thought. ( )

Not quite as good as Volume I, but still worthwhile. ( )

This is the follow on book to the successful first volume. The chapter on proper french breads is particularly useful. Overall this volume covers Soups, Baking, Meats, Chickens, Charcuterie, Vegetables, and Desserts. If you have not tried Tian de Courgetttes au Riz (page 371), please do so the next time your garden gives you an abundance of zucchini. ( )
